Retro Editorial Cartoon: Halloween and Politicians
October 31 around here doesn’t only mean Halloween. It means an election is right around the corner. This is the time the politicians and lobbyists pick it up on the rhetoric, scare tactics and door-to-door visits. I did this one in 2007.

Funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I wonder if in a past life, Bearman wasn’t a practicing proctologist

Bend over and crack a smile!

And those politicians have even worse tricks planned for us after they win.
November 2, 2009 at 7:32 am
Master of the bait and switch.
November 1, 2009 at 11:26 am
and it’s never treats with them!

You have to supply your own cupcakes.
November 1, 2009 at 2:39 pm
And they all wear the same costume.
November 2, 2009 at 7:33 am
That starts in their fraternity days.

Do you vote bearman?
November 2, 2009 at 7:33 am
Every time.
November 2, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Good for you!
November 1, 2009 at 6:22 pm
That would suck if you were just a kid dressed as a Politician…
November 2, 2009 at 7:34 am
That’s one tall kid?
November 1, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Oh, come on, that’s just Hillary looking for Bill!
November 2, 2009 at 7:34 am
Bill is doing his own trick or treating.

wow in a way im glad its compulsory to vote here in aus… we dont need to deal with pollies and their party supporters campaigning to get ppl out to vote and vote for them.
November 2, 2009 at 7:36 am
While it is compulsory to vote that doesn’t mean people will vote for you. So why aren’t they out campaigning?

I had a politician come to my house once & I just happened to be in a bad mood due to a tap washer change going horribly wrong. I was heading out the door to the hardware shop when he accosted me in my front yard. I told him that it really annoyed me that when it’s election time they come around sucking up for our votes but the rest of the year they don’t give a damn about us. Then I rather rudely told him to go away. Being the nice kinda bloke I am, once I calmed down I felt really bad for being horrid to him.

Did you go to his house and apologize?
November 2, 2009 at 6:18 am
Ah yes..sniff…sniff….can you smell it?
Politicians on the prowl for that elusive bloodsucking gullible piece of human anatomy called “a voter”.
November 2, 2009 at 7:36 am
I can smell what you are cooking.
November 2, 2009 at 8:16 am
Awww, but sir … I only need a minute of your time …
November 2, 2009 at 9:57 am
I actually respect the guys that go door to door seeking my vote. I like when people work for it.
November 2, 2009 at 9:07 am
You have to admit though, we still have the best form of government that money can buy. It would have been funny though if you had done one on halloween with a politician soliciting votes in the cemetery.
November 2, 2009 at 9:58 am
Bo what are you doing coming in here with a pseudonym. Only I am allowed to do that.
November 3, 2009 at 8:51 am
Sorry about that. I don’t know how it happened. Actually I prefer to say it is my nome de’plume but I must have been still logged in to my Gatorhead site. Sometimes I need a nametag so I will know who I am at the moment.
November 2, 2009 at 10:12 am
Thankfully there’s only 1 more day left of that…until the next election
November 2, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Which were I live is only 6 months away.
November 2, 2009 at 11:51 am
this is one of the main reasons that I live in a gated community
November 2, 2009 at 1:57 pm
State pen??
November 4, 2009 at 9:47 am
Just argue with them if you oppose them. Share the light with them.
November 5, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Don’t they have a spray or a glue strip or something to take ‘care’ of them?
: )
November 5, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Wouldn’t that be cool to have a big fly paper on your porch that they get stuck in.
